Fuel costs drive request for more funds in Garden City schools
Garden City USD 457 officials cite an 11 cent bus fuel jump between Feb 28 and March 2 and EPA emission standards adding at least 10000 to bus prices next year. Energy Manager Tony Faulkner says funding must rise beyond current levels to maintain operations. Teachers like William Baker say a 2 percent increase would fund more computers and supplies. 7 percent could add eight teachers and expand tech. Rising AYP expectations and No Child Left Behind rules pressure higher budgets to improve test scores.
